Knapp's Relation Model

 Intimate Relationships

 

    Many people have intimate relationships throughout their life, whether they last forever or only a few months it's apart if human nature. Many people want to keep them private or even an open book, its dependent on who that person is and where they come from. One thing undeniable is Knapp's model, I think it's pretty accurate on each stage. 


    While each stage has it's own implications I think a stage where I stand with a current building relationship is at the Intensifying part. It can be hard to evaluate a relationship you currently have or one from the past, that's why I find difficulty to exactly pin point where it stands. Although, the intensity and formality of the relationship is becoming less formal and easier to make plans. I think its pretty easy to stay I'm at the beginning of this stage.

Online communication in this aspect have it's pros and cons. Texting and calling make it easier to connect, yet this could be a problem in the earl stages of a relationship. Talking too much too soon can cause a lack of connection or to lose that spark you once had. I have experienced this in past relationships where moving too quick too soon make you simply lose the interest. I think that online communication can help in a way to stay connected, like that dopamine boost it can give you. The reassurance it creates is a healthy boundary, yet you can't overdue it. This can create an unbalance in the relationship.

Another expert, marketing expert Mari Smith, discussed the use of social media to foster meaningful conversations and relationships with customers.

Social Media Impacts Social media has changed the way people document history by giving them the power to create and share their own narratives, experiences, and perspectives. It has created a decentralized system of information dissemination that is not controlled by any single entity or organization. People can now use social media to document their own experiences and those of others, which can contribute to a more diverse and accurate representation of history. People have used social media to win the hearts and minds of people by creating content that resonates with their audiences, be it through humor, inspiration, or educational content. For example, during the Arab Spring, activists used social media platforms to organize protests and bring attention to their causes. This helped to mobilize large numbers of people, spread information about human rights violations, and ultimately led to changes in government policies. - https://www.britannica.com/event/Arab-Spring Social media h
